Report of Independent Auditors

To the Liquidator of B Medical Systems Holding S.A. (in liquidation)

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of B Medical  Systems Holding S.A. (in liquidation) and its subsidiaries (the “Company”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of 31 December 2021 and 2020, and the related consolidated profit and loss accounts for the years then ended, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”) which, as described in Note 3.1 to the consolidated financial statements, have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles generally accepted in Luxembourg.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of 31 December 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations for the years then ended in accordance with Luxembourg legal and regulatory requirements relating to the preparation and presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the Company and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Basis of Accounting

As discussed in Note 3.1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company prepares its consolidated financial statements on the basis of accounting principles generally accepted in Luxembourg, which differs from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

Emphasis of Matter

We draw attention to Note 3.1 to the consolidated financial statements, which refers to the Extraordinary Meeting  of  the  sole  Shareholder  of  B  Medical  Systems  Holding  S.A. (in  liquidation)  held  on 4 October 2022, during which it was decided to voluntarily put B Medical Systems Holding S.A. (in liquidation) into liquidation. As further described in Note 3.1, these consolidated financial statements have still been prepared using a going concern basis of accounting. Our audit report is not modified in respect of this matter.

Responsibilities of the Liquidator of B Medical Systems Holding S.A. (in liquidation) for the consolidated financial statements

The Liquidator of B Medical Systems Holding S.A. (in liquidation) (the “Liquidator”) is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with Luxembourg legal and regulatory requirements relating to the preparation and presentation of the consolidated financial statements, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Liquidator is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for at least, but not limited to, twelve months from the end of the reporting period, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Liquidator either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditors’ Responsibility for the Audit of the consolidated financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with US GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the consolidated financial statements.

In performing an audit in accordance with US GAAS, we:

exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit;
identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements;
obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed;
evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by the Liquidator, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements;
conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

2


We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters that we identified during the audit.

B Medical Systems Holding S.A. (in liquidation)

Notes to the consolidated annual accounts

Note 3 - Summary of significant accounting policies

3.1Basis of preparation

The consolidated annual accounts have been prepared in accordance with Luxembourg legal and regulatory requirements under the historical cost convention and going concern assumption, which assumes the realisation of assets and the discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future.

The decision to voluntarily put the Company into liquidation on 4 October 2022, as further described in note 25, has not impacted the basis of preparation of these consolidated annual accounts. The liquidation is only attributable to the Company, which at the liquidation date has transferred its sole subsidiary (the group B Medical), to another company, which continues to exist as of today.

Accounting policies and  valuation  rules  are, besides the ones laid down by the Law of 19 December 2002, as amended, determined and applied by the Management.

The preparation of the consolidated annual accounts requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires the Management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the accounting policies. Changes in assumptions may have a significant impact on the consolidated annual accounts in the period in which the assumptions changed. Management believes that the underlying assumptions are appropriate and that the consolidated annual accounts therefore present the consolidated financial position and results fairly.

The Management makes estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the next financial year. Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

3.2Significant accounting policies

The main valuation rules applied by the Company are the following:

3.2.1Intangible assets

Intangible assets are valued at purchase price including the expenses incidental thereto or at production cost, less cumulated depreciation, amounts written off and value adjustments. Where the Group considers that an intangible asset has suffered from a durable depreciation in value, an additional write-down is recorded to reflect this loss. These value adjustments are not continued if the reasons for which the value adjustments were made have ceased to apply.

Costs of development

Costs of development are amortised on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, which is 3 years.

Concessions, patents, licences, trademarks and similar rights and assets

All such items are amortised on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, which is as follows:

Licences

    

4 years

 

Trademarks

10 years

Test products

3 years

3.2.2Tangible assets

Tangible assets are valued at purchase price including the expenses incidental thereto or at production cost. Tangible assets are depreciated over their estimated useful economic lives.

Payments on accounts and tangible assets under development

Amounts related to leasehold improvement and other related expenses, are included in the balance sheet when incurred. The expenditure are transferred to assets in use and depreciation commences when the assets are put into operation.

3.2.3Financial assets

Loans held as fixed assets are valued at nominal value including the expenses incidental thereto.

In case of a durable depreciation in value according to the opinion of the Management, value adjustments are made in respect of fixed assets, so that they are valued at the lower figure to be attributed to them at the balance sheet date. These values adjustments are not continued if the reasons for which the value adjustments were made have ceased to apply.

3.2.4Stocks of raw materials and consumables

Stocks of raw materials and consumables are valued at standard cost or purchase price or standard cost.

3.2.10Capital investment subsidies

Subsidies received from the Luxembourg government related to the financing of investments are recorded under “Capital and reserves” at their initial value. They are written off using the same method and over the same period as the assets to which they relate.

3.2.11Provisions

Provisions are intended to cover losses or debts the nature of which is clearly defined and which, at the date of the balance sheet, are either likely to be incurred or certain to be incurred but uncertain as to their amount or as to the date on which they will arise.

Provisions may also be created to cover charges which originate in the financial year, the nature of which is clearly defined and which at the date of the balance sheet are either likely to be incurred or certain to be incurred but uncertain as to their amount or the date on which they will arise.

3.2.12Creditors

Debts are recorded at their reimbursement value. Where the amount repayable on account is greater than the amount received, the difference is shown as an asset and is written off over the period of the debt based on a linear method.

Notes to the consolidated annual accounts

3.2.13Net turnover

The net turnover comprises the amounts derived from the sale of products and the provision of services falling within the Group’s ordinary activities, after deductions of sales rebates and of value added tax and other taxes directly linked to the turnover.

The net turnover includes revenue from lease operations. The revenue is recognized over the contract duration.

3.2.14Foreign currency translation

The Company maintains its accounts in euros (EUR) and the consolidated annual accounts are expressed in this currency.

Transactions expressed in currencies other than EUR are translated into EUR at the exchange rate effective at the time of the transaction.

Cash at bank is translated at the exchange rate effective at the balance sheet date. Exchange losses and gains are recorded in the profit and loss account of the year.

Long-term assets expressed in currencies other than EUR are translated into EUR at the exchange rate effective at the time of the transaction. At the balance sheet date, these assets remain translated at historic exchange rates.

Other assets and liabilities are translated separately respectively at the lower or at the higher of the value converted at the historic exchange rate or the value determined on the basis of the exchange rates effective at the balance sheet date. Solely the unrealised exchange losses are recorded in the profit and loss account. The realised exchange gains are recorded in the profit and loss account at the moment of their realisation.

Assets and liabilities of the annual accounts of foreign subsidiaries are converted at the exchange rate effective at the balance sheet date and the profit and loss statements of these companies are converted at the average exchange rate of the financial period.

Differences arising from the translation of opening shareholders’ equity in accordance with the year-end exchange rate are recorded in consolidated equity under “currency translation reserve” and do not impact the profit or loss account.

3.2.15Statement of Cash Flows

The consolidated statement of cash flows has been prepared using the indirect method in which the net cash flow from operating activities is determined by adjusting profit or loss for the effects of changes in certain items in the consolidated balance sheet, non-cash items and items that relate to financing and investing cash flows.

Note 26 - Subsequent events

Since February 2022, a number of countries (including amongst others the US, UK and EU) imposed sanctions against certain entities and individuals in Russia as a result of the official recognition of the Donetsk People Republic and Lugansk People Republic by the Russian Federation.

The situation, together with growing turmoil from fluctuations in commodity prices and foreign exchange rates, and the impact to global economies, has driven a sharp increase in volatility across markets. The Liquidator of the Company regard these events for the Group as non-adjusting events after the reporting period.

Although neither the Group’s performance and going concern nor operations, at the date of the approval of these accounts, have been significantly impacted by the above, Management continues to monitor the evolving situation and its impact on the financial position and operations of the Group and has evaluated subsequent events until the date the accounts were available to be issued, and concluded no additional disclosures are required.
